Last night I had a dream
I looked at the calendar on my desk and it was Dec 1 2012, a Saturday
I was with three friends - we were discussing how to split the last 12 tins of canned food that we had
From the bits of conversation that I could remember, there was no electricity for months and hence no transport and nothing to power basic infrastructure
Nothing was functioning and people died in the streets, either out of violence or starvation
Those who could escape to rural areas in other countries have done so
I was at Tiong Bahru - there were corpses on the streets
everywhere - the smell of death weighed heavy in the air
It began to rain. I opened my mouth to receive the water from the heavens
Then I woke up
